What can we find out about the Cubs on the new iPhone?

You guys have seen this commercial, right?Shows people walking around asking their iPhone 4s questions like, "What's my day like?" and it answers both verbally and with a page of information.It's amazing. I immediately took advantage of this commercial with my old, normal iPhone.You can, too.Even if you don't have the new iPhone, go into any public place and talk to your phone.Trust me, you're cool.In a crowded elevator, pull out your phone and just say, "What time is my meeting?"Or even better, be specific yet vague with, "What time is my meeting with the President?"Impressive?You bet!

Seriously, it's amazing.Right now, I'm in New York.The hotel I'm at charges $9 for a bottle of water, I don't even want to find out how much breakfast is.So I got out my new iPhone and asked Siri, "Is there a McDonald's near me?"Siri says, "I found 17 restaurants matching McDonald's. 14 of them are fairly close to you."Like, a block away.I swear, it's the coolest thing.

Then I'm back in my room and this idea (of the gif) pops into my head.I pull out my phone and ask Siri: "Will the Cubs ever win the World Series?"She (it's a woman's voice) responds, "Timothy, I don't understand "When will the Cubs win the World Series."Which is correct, of course.
